David Muir, the anchor of “World News Tonight,” is set to lead a special one-hour edition of “20/20” tonight, focusing on the ferocious wildfires currently raging across Los Angeles. Titled “American Catastrophe: LA Burning,” the program will broadcast at 9:01 p.m. EST on ABC, with a focus on the most current information regarding the disaster.
Muir isn’t just reporting from a safe distance; he’ll be airborne with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to bring viewers an exclusive, first-hand look at the extent of the damage. This makes him the only journalist to get such access.
The broadcast will feature live reports from several correspondents positioned directly at the fire frontlines, giving viewers multiple perspectives as events continue to unfold. The special report aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the situation, which has caused widespread devastation across the region.
“American Catastrophe: LA Burning” will be available on Hulu for streaming the day after its airing on ABC.
